One of the many reasons that I love Sesame Street

November 11, 2010 by Wendy S

Hi, my name is mapsgirl. I’m 35 years old and I love Sesame Street!

(This post is not sponsored by them what so ever… I just really love them.)
(This post could also be tiled why I love Will.i.am just a little bit more than I did before…you’ll see why in  a bit)

Sesame Street was part of my childhood. And now they are a part of my daughter’s lives.

An amazing thing that the genius people who work at Sesame Street have done is incorporate artists that my generation knows and loves, reworded the songs and made it apply to things the kids need to know.

I love Sesame Street

I’ve found some great examples:

Hootie and the Blowfish – Hold my Hand

(teaching about crossing the street)

 

Spin Doctors – Two Princess

(Zoe needs to pick between Elmo and Telly for a play date)

 

This one goes back a few years….

Billy Joel and Marlee Matlin – Just the Way You Are

(all about acceptance)

 

Before I get to the last video, I just want to thank Sesame Street for always being current…and for making content that even parents want to watch.

Recently I came across this awesome song. It’s by a celebrity, but it wasn’t re-written.

Will.i.am – What I am

(and because it’s so awesome, I included the lyrics below the video)

If what I am is what’s in me
Then I’ll stay strong – that’s who I’ll be
and I will always be the best
“me” that I can be.

There’s only one me, I am it
have a dream I’ll follow it
It’s up to me to try.

Oh! I’m a keep my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
I’ll be getting stronger.

And nothing’s gonna bring me down (no!)
Never gonna stop, gotta go.
Because I know
I’ll keep getting stronger.

And what I am is thoughtful
what I am is musical
what I am is smart
and what I am is brave
what I am is helpful
what I am is special
There’s nothing I can’t achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh…

Gonna keep our heads up high

Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
Just keep getting stronger.

And nothing’s gonna bring us down (no!)
Never give it up, gotta go.
Because I know
I’ll keep getting stronger.

What I am is super
what I am is proud
what I am is friendly
what I am is grouchy
what you are is magical
what you are is special

There’s nothing I can’t achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh…

Gonna hold my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna stop
I’ll be getting stronger.

Nothing’s gonna bring me down (no!)
Never give it up gotta go, oh… yeah…
I’ll keep getting strong–er.
